That’s clearly just the hackers accessing your mainframe.

Reminds me of the podcast Thomas Smith and the Bible.

I feel like it’s just the opposite.

Try designing something without instructions or a template. You’ll run into a thousand little issues you didn’t realize needed to be considered.

That’s true of software, sure. But it’s also true if you want to make a wooden dresser without plans or build an rc airplane from scratch.

In my experience, things are rarely as simple as they first seem.

It’s cool for people with lots of extra cash I guess. I like that 50% of profits go to the artists.

That said, I am certainly not one of those people with extra money to spend on wallpapers. Seems like we’re not the target demographic.

Maybe that’s part of this guy’s problem here. His channel has a broader appeal than the app, so the people outside the app’s target demographic got irritated.

He only bangs white dudes… he promises.

Love my Hakko. Paid a little over $100 for it several years ago. It costs 10x as much as the cheapest option but is 100x better.

It’s all good until they pull the content you thought you bought. I also prefer the convenience of downloaded games, but if it’s a game I really like, I buy the physical version.

Anniversary of username creation date. Like your Lemmy birthday!

Hello? Is this tech support? I was trying to leave a comment, but the site is so poorly designed it doesn’t seem to have a submit button. Please help immediately. Just call my personal cell at …

And they block access from a number of states due to stupid id laws

Only thing worse is trying to read the rest of a long YouTube comment without making the app think you want to reply instead of read it.

Yeah I like Richmond. Good weather; good food; good beer; outdoor activities; proximity to beaches, mountains, and vineyards… Like you said, political ideology is moving in the right direction.

You should say “This is how something looks” or “This is what something looks like”, but don’t put the “how” and the “like” in the same statement.

That is not how it should look like.

Didn’t live up to expectations.

Probably not the video’s fault though. The meme is just too epic. The video never had a chance of beating that hype.

Drink IPA without letting any air into your mouth and keep your tongue somewhat pressed against the roof of your mouth. It seems to block off the taste buds on top of the tongue and lets the beer wash around the sides of the tongue instead. This reduces the in-your-face bitterness and allows the secondary flavors to be noticed. At least that’s how I started appreciating IPAs.

Thank you for the recommendation!

Ah. Thank you!! I was planning to disconnect the computer from wifi next month until I got around to setting up Linux. Nice to know there is more time.

I used Mint like 15 years ago trying to set up retropie on a cheap netbook. It felt really smooth, but I couldn’t get something to work and just never had time to research a resolution.

I’m sure it’s more user friendly now or at least the tools are more successful on first install. Going to find out sooner or later. I really just use that old PC to store pictures and play retro games, so it shouldn’t be hard to convert with a little time for research.

I have a PC at home that works perfectly fine. Browses the internet, emulates GameCube and Dreamcast, runs any app I need.

It’s not eligible for Windows 11. In about a month MS will just stop supporting my PC, and it will not have the option to be a Windows PC despite still having plenty of service time to offer.

Microsoft is basically forcing that PC to run Linux instead.

I agree with that… somewhat. Except they are providing a service.

The content is not produced by YouTube, but it is made available by YouTube. There’s a cost to provide that service and value to the consumer for having videos available to watch.

I doubt you want to pay for the service, so how is it supposed to work? What pays YouTube’s costs so we can all keep watching videos for months and years to come?

I get that this comes across as someone simping for YouTube. I’m not trying to do that though. I’m just intrigued by this worldview and would like to understand if there is more to it or if you believe YouTube should not be compensated some other way.

Is it a “Fuck you. I got mine.” mentality where people watching ads and paying premium cover the cost for you to use the service for free? Or is there some nuance I’ve missed?

I assumed Cupid without realizing it was an assumption
